That motor may not be the all time king of 40 hp motors, but I guarantee you it's the king of new 40 hp marsh motors. I put that thing through the coonass torture test yesterday. I finally plugged the water pump idling in 5" of muddy water. I had to push pole out, my 82# motor guide wouldn't move the boat.
For comfort and shallow draft, that boat is tough to beat. It may not be the fastest hull on the market but I'll settle for a little loss in speed. With a full fishing load, 2 people over 200 pounds, all gear, it runs a solid 36-37 mph through the marsh, I'll take that all day long.
